This is cooking stripped down to the bare bones. No need for fancy herbs, spices, or ingredients. The best brussels sprouts are tossed with olive oil salt and pepper and roasted until crisp on the edges.

My Brady ,7-years-old, will not eat brussels sprouts even if they are “candied”. My mommy description that should win the war. Technically? Yes, they caramelize, thus that makes them candied. So I was making him a pizza and ended up making a second with ricotta and Brussels sprouts! This combination is delicious!
